Every human act, and action is imbued with emotions, they run through all aspects of human life, including education. Emotional competence is a combination of several different abilities – recognizing, understanding, and effectively regulating one's own and others' emotions. These abilities are often associated with successful functioning in different areas of life, including in the school life of students. When we think about the concept of emotions and emotional intelligence in education, specifically in teaching, according to Bognar and Dubrovicki (2012), they can be associated with the classroom atmosphere, i.e. the so-called emotional climate. The favorable emotional climate favorably affects the results of the educational process, and the unfavorable one, in which fear and boredom are present, interferes with the educational process. But the emotional aspect of teaching encompasses a much wider and more specific spectrum of emotions of each individual involved in the teaching process. The focus of this paper centers on the emotions of students, specifically adolescents and their emotional reactions. This specification and orientation of the topic stems from the need to raise awareness of the importance of the role of emotional reactions in students' school achievements and this age group is specific precisely because they are in a such sensitive age when emotional reactions are in the most turbulent stage. School itself is a source of certain specific stressors for students, and each stressor/problem requires a certain emotional reaction. The ways in which students learn to cope with stressful situations significantly affect their daily functioning in the school environment and their ability to meet all the educational requirements placed before them. The purpose of this paper is to explore and provide a good insight into the importance of education for emotions and highlight the need to help students to adequately cope with their own emotions, especially in the period of adolescence when emotional reactions are in the most turbulent stage.
